I find it very amusing that people who cannot spell correctly or use proper grammar are disputing the likelihood of this scenario. A number of posters here have contributed links to other sources which advocate the theory that switching from the US Dollar to the Euro would have an adverse affect on the US economy and possibility diminish its role as the world's sole superpower.
To those who disagree I say this: produce proof in the form of links to other respectable/believable sources that this would not occur, or contribute some meaningful statistics that can be used to logically argue that the theory postulated is bunk.
Charrison has repeatedly argued the point, yet has zero credibility with me due to his ineffectual arguments and lack of supporting evidence. This is my opinion, others may disagree. I think that the theory is a valid one, and it certainly does explain the behaviour of the United States, especially when other, more historical events are examined using the above theory.
The clincher for me is the shift in the security policy of the United States to one of pre-emptive strikes and the stated goal of having a dominant role in the world. No country will be allowed to challenge the United States militarily. It follows that given the stated goal of global dominance, it would intervene in any situation that would threaten that dominance, militarily or economically. These are not the ramblings of a conspiracy theorist; they are stated fact by the United States government.
Feel free to disagree with me. This is my first post to the Anandtech forums. I hope to make a few more on this subject before it is retired.
Welcome to AT!
I certainly would like this "discussion" to continue too. I'm not convinced that the Iraq War is a result of this subject, but the subject is very interesting in that it seems to be a valid arguement as the US's Achilles Heal as it were. It would seem prudent, in light of this arguement, that the US should adopt an economic policy of debt repayment, not to would make the problem worse.
